Hello all,
I hope everyone is doing well. I'm writing out of a little frustration today. I have a 4 year old w/cf who is having some major feeding issues. Overall, his health is really great! His lungs are clear, etc. At our last clinic visit (December), his weight and height fell around the 50%. We were thrilled with these numbers. But somehow, we always fall back into these behavior issues when it comes to food. My husband and I are honestly at our wits end. My son is losing weight (not a huge amount yet...but headed in that direction) and eating is ALWAYS a battle. We've tried so many different tactics. We've taken classes. We've rewarded good behavior and ignored the bad, used bribes....everything. What success have you found as parents to help your child eat WELL? I'm really needing some good hard honest advice and you guys are always great to give it to me - parents or cf-ers - anyone! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Thanks a million,
Carey
